What happened: Los Angeles Rams safety Quentin Lake stated that Justin Herbert was seeing ghosts after intercepting the Chargers quarterback. The Rams picked off Herbert twice during their 24-9 victory over the Chargers on Sunday.

Why it matters: Herbert has completed 131 of 212 passes for 1398 yards with five touchdowns and 10 interceptions through seven games in 2026. A franchise quarterback cannot justify double-digit turnovers against single-digit touchdown production through seven starts. Opposing secondaries have solved his tendencies, removing him from any defensible top-tier ranking.
